Verse 1
A A 
 
I awoke today and
Asus4 Asus4 
 
A A 
 
found    the frost perched on the town
It hovered in a frozen sky,
Asus4 Asus4 
 
A A 
 
then it gobbled summer down
D D 
 
C C 
 
When the sun turns traitor cold
D D 
 
C C 
 
E E 
 
And all trees are shivering in a naked row
A A 
 
G G 
 
I get the urge for going but I never
A A 
 
Asus2 Asus2 
 
A A 
 
Asus4 Asus4 
 
A A 
 
seem to go
G G 
 
A A 
 
I get the urge for going
G G 
 
D D 
 
A A 
 
When the meadow grass is
G G 
 
turning brown
D D 
 
Summertime is

Verse 2
A A 
 
Asus2 Asus2 
 
falling
A A 
 
Em Em 
 
A A 
 
down and winter is closing in
Em Em 
 
I had me a man in summertime
A A 
 
He had summer- colored skin
Em Em 
 
A A 
 
And not another girl in town
Em Em 
 
A A 
 
My darling's heart could win
D D 
 
C C 
 
But when the leaves fell on the ground
D D 
 
C C 
 
And bully winds came around pushed
E E 
 
them face down in the snow
A A 
 
G G 
 
He got the urge for going and I
A A 
 
Asus4 Asus4 
 
A A 
 
had to let him go
G G 
 
D D 
 
A A 
 
He got the urge for going
G G 
 
A A 
 
When the meadow grass
was turning brown

Verse 3
G G 
 
A A 
 
Asus2 Asus2 
 
And summertime was fall     ing
A A 
 
Em Em 
 
A A 
 
down and winter was closing in
Em Em 
 
Now the warriors   of winter they
Asus4 Asus4 
 
A A 
 
gave a cold tri      umphant shout
Em Em 
 
A A 
 
And all that stays is dying and all
Em Em 
 
Asus4 Asus4 
 
A A 
 
that lives is getting out
D D 
 
C C 
 
D D 
 
See the geese in chevron flight flapping
C C 
 
E E 
 
and ra cing on before the snow
A A 
 
G G 
 
They've got the urge for going and they've got
A A 
 
Asus4 Asus4 
 
A A 
 
the wings so they can go
G G 
 
A A 
 
Asus2 Asus2 
 
They get the urge for going
A A 
 
G G 
 
A A 
 
When the meadow grass is turning brown

Verse 4
G G 
 
A A 
 
E E 
 
Summertime is falling down and
A A 
 
Em Em 
 
A A 
 
D D 
 
Bb Bb 
 
A A 
 
winter is closing in
Asus4 Asus4 
 
I'll ply the fire with kindling and
A A 
 
pull the blankets to my chin
I'll lock the vagrant winter out and
Asus4 Asus4 
 
A A 
 
I'll     bolt my wandering in
D D 
 
C C 
 
D D 
 
I'd like to call back summertime and have her
C C 
 
E E 
 
stay for just another month or so
A A 
 
G G 
 
But she's got the urge for going so I guess
A A 
 
Asus4 Asus4 
 
A A 
 
she'll have to go
G G 
 
D D 
 
A A 
 
G G 
 
She get the urge for going when the
A A 
 
meadow grass is turning brown
G G 
 
D D 
 
A A 
 
And all her empires are falling down
E E 
 
A A 
 
Em Em 
 
A A 
 
And winter's closing in
G G 
 
A A 
 
And I get the urge for going when
G G 
 
D D 
 
A A 
 
the meadow grass is turning brown
G G 
 
D D 
 
A A 
 
Asus4 Asus4 
 
And summertime is falling
